@glenn: that's why foodies are called for. Some festivals akin to the Japanese "RAW Food" one where chefs have to go into nature to get their ingredients, only escargot-themed, and voila, problem solved. The state just needs to provide cooking and eating facilities, and maybe a couple of tons of garlic butter.

@Listener Okasa: hmm, well, it has a good theme tune and if you like Shozo Iizuka's performances, he's always good. It's very different from the original manga, though. Not the best example of the genre, but I enjoyed it.

wiki: Boston's Fenway Park has played the song since at least 1997, and it has been played at every game in the middle of the eighth inning since 2002 by the influence of Amy Tobey, a production agent responsible for the audio played over the park's loudspeakers. "She had noticed 'Sweet Caroline' was used at other sporting events, and she decided to send the sweetness over the Fenway speakers."

The day after 9/11, when most of the Back Bay was emptied out because of the hotel rooms of the hijackers being discovered there, I left work early like everyone else and sought refuge at a bar my friend worked at and got drunk. The second explosion Monday was outside that bar. I'm a little sick to my stomach about that.

The rise of Sweet Caroline coincided with the so-called "pink hat" era of the Boston Red Sox, in which the seats became filled with people looking to simply go get drunk and see the celebrities and sing Sweet Caroline -- and, yes, wear the latest miscolored Red Sox gear. I'm not a Red Sox fan, but I can't wait for the whole irritating thing to end.

rsj,

Oh, thanks. My innocent image of the character being an asteroid falling down somewhere in Russia has just been bligthed.

@Dr. Goot, Ken described the day with Willis really well-- an exploitive band pushing a clearly mentally challenged/ill person into the public eye. From a personal standpoint, He really creeped me out. Wesley kept chasing me and other women at the station around, trying to get our phone numbers in a menacing way. Ken tried his best to keep him away.

I actually think that what it looks like the tail it's actually the weenie. And no, this is not a "when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail (or a sperm, for that matter)" kind of case.

Not sure anything's wrong with Neil Diamond. I remember maybe in 94 or so, Lollapalooza wanted Neil Young on their tour, and he refused, suggesting that they should have asked Neil Diamond instead. So clearly, Neil Diamond has Neil Young's endoresement. That's what I got out of that story, anyway.

Ken, I'm in Mountainville NY and can never get the 91.9 signal . Where the heck should it work? By the way, I have been to that tower in Harriman. Spooky, but so is the mini zoo in Bear Mountain State Park nearby. 90.1 actually comes in pretty clear, though I assumed it shouldn't.

Don't underestimate Caryn knowledgeable power which extends even to those obscure student short films from Turkey that were burned by the religious state when they were in post-production back in the 60's.

it's on the written record that the engineer who created the commercially-released version of American Pie in 71 had to splice it together from tons of takes, moment by moment, because McLean had just recently read a negative review of his singing, and was doing all kinds of weird things to change his singing up that made it impossible to use much of his performance without having to clip something out and replace it with something from another take. Funfun.
